Quebec Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

You gotta love the Brits...
Yup, that's right... my first blog if this trip is about the Grand Prix. Did anyone really expect anything else? I mean I've planned this trip to coincide with the race... So anyways, for anyone wanting to read about how much I love Montreal... well they'll have to wait until the next instalment. I've spent the last 3 days sitting on the most uncomfortable sheet of metal surrounded by beer-swigging, vocal canadians... and it's been awesome. Ok at times I've wished that my bum was bigger or more padded as those grand-stands were horrendous. But it's been worth every bum-numbing minut [View Full Entry]

Hello All! We have not been doing well keeping up with our blog the last couple of weeks, as we were busy preparing for convocation, and then tired and recovering from convocation. Dana flew to Toronto and met up with her family, while I flew to Ottawa to meet with mine. My parents, grandparents and bro all bro all made the cross country trip, and the Thompson's (Mel's parents) were very nice to let us stay with them on beautiful Treasure Island near Kingston. We arrived on Wednesday night, and convocation was the next morning at 9 am. After a couple [View Full Entry]

Ça y est : dans moins d’une semaine, je m’envolerai en direction de l’Afrique, ou plus précisément de Kigali, Rwanda. Ce sera mon deuxième passage sur ce continent oublié, mais inoubliable, et la première étape de mon périple d’un an qui me mènera à travailler deux mois à l’hôpital universitaire de Butare, une ville du Rwanda, ainsi qu’à d’autres hôpitaux rwandais, puis en Écosse pour 6 mois, et pour le reste… on verra ! Il me reste donc une semaine pour tout préparer, faire mes valises, finaliser les achats de dernière minute ainsi que tester [View Full Entry]

Zo na zo'n slorige vier weken zonder wat van ons te laten horen voel ik me zo schuldig dat ik maar weer eens een blogje schrijf. Uit het oog uit.... nou ja je weet wat ik wil zeggen. Ja, waar was ik ook al weer gebleven drie weken geleden hadden we voor twee weken een gast op bezoek, Charlote een collega van Ink. Ze was hier voor werk (ja, die biologen die hebben het enorm zwaar!) die we vervolgens twee weken lang door heel Montreal hebben gesleurd om deze enorme stad te laten aanschouwen. Ze is er zo weg van dat [View Full Entry]

Et voilà c'est parti!!! Charles Il ne reste que quelque temps avant de se séparer et d'aller vers des continent bien différent. Un océan et des milliers de kilomètres vont nous séparer!! J'ai passé commencer un petit blog pour toujours pouvoir nous rapprocher. Je sais le temps et les distances peuvent nous faner, mais ce n'est que si moi de désespoir et de solitude, que nous allons bientot affronter. Ici on va toujours pouvoir ce voir, même si c pas comme en vrai, c'est toujours une petite partie de moi ou de toi qui sera si facile à attraper au passage. [View Full Entry]

Bonjour du Quebec! The past month has just flown by. After we explored a bit of the Vancouver area, we flew east from Seattle to the little airport in Newburgh, New York. The main reason we went all the way across the country was to go to my cousin's wedding in Newport News, Virginia. And what a fun wedding it was! A mix of Columbian, Swiss and cheesy American wedding traditions, with toasts and cheers in several languages and heavy accents. Start with a marriachi band, add the singing Von Trapp family and throw in a dj with a love of [View Full Entry]

This is the girl I will miss...
Two days ago, Shortstop left Montreal. Even though the things that come out of her mouth are fucking retarded most of the time, she’s an amazing friend. My best female friend up here in Montreal (more by virtue of the fact that 99% of McGill girls are dumb, skanky, white Toronto girls), we’re pretty tight. And I’ve gotten used to her brand of humor—saying retarded things is probably a great way to spice up the biting, witty sarcasm that most of my friends employ. After spending a whole Sunday at Tam-Tams, drinking with Trini-Boy and then running into some friends [View Full Entry]

Enough to throw a party?
I woke up around 11am, groggy from 5 hours of sleep. Things flooded back to me. Dice…Mexican girls…$60…bikes…roulette…black 6…. Shit. I slammed my head back into my pillow. This is worse than a hangover. Combined, D-German and I had zero dollars. Zero. I guess technically, I had $2.45 residing in my bank account and D-German had some other trivial single digit amount, but we were flat broke. And hosting a goddamn party tonight. I rolled underneath my covers, trying to go back to sleep to escape the reality. But reality won ov [View Full Entry]
